Painting Gardens in Oils (August)

Garden’s represented in Art take many forms (the wild garden, the enclosed garden, the cottage garden, the secret garden, the formal garden, the pleasure garden, the working garden, the private garden, the vegetable garden, the public garden, the mythical garden, the magic garden, and of course the Artist’s garden).

The workshop will guide participants to find personal and distinctive ways of making the subject of the garden their own and to embrace the challenges of perspective, contrast, light and shade, composition and above all colour and colour relationships that gardens present to the aspiring and practising Artist.

Participants are encouraged to bring along sketches, drawings, photographs, reproductions, Art books etc. to provide inspiration. All Art materials are provided based around the use of fast drying Alkyd Oil Paints. If you wish to bring your own preferred materials, please feel free to do so. Each participant will be provided with an illustrated ‘workbook’ to support their learning and practice.
